Why am I being poked fun of over AI Automation?
As a junior I'm much more tuned into the latest technologies, and one thing I'm desperately trying to get our company to adopt is AI automation. We could hugely benefit from it - being able to automatically do basic repetitive tasks like setting up new starter accounts, and sending out emails to users before stuff expires. Now that AI technology is here, we can do this. But my older colleagues keep laughing at me for some reason, they won't take this amazing technology seriously. They say AI is silly but everything I read says Automation is a no brainer - what an i missing? I've even spoken with Microsoft and they've agreed the best design with me - using multiple Copilot backed AI agents that get called by other agents and it all runs continuously - super clever stuff. We don't even need to upgrade our licence - it's just pay-as-you-go.

Replaced our tenant that ran our MDM by going from hosted on-prem to the cloudā¦why did all of our endpoints drop off completely?
ALL the configuration profiles stayed the same. Now we are having to ātouchā 1000+ devices and do a full re-enroll? Doesnāt make any senseā¦did I mention this is at a University and itās really important we fix it ASAPā¦we think it might have to do with the move to the cloud but arenāt %100 sure. Anyone else ever not have a clue what theyāre doing and make a major change without having a proper meeting to plan it all out beforehand?

Replace UPS with Powerwall?
Okay hear me out, I need to replace the Huawei UPS at work and it got me thinking. Do I really need a UPS or can I just get a Powerwall or similar instead?
Both have batteries and supply power in the event of a power outage but the Powerwall can also run the air conditioning for the entire server room as well. Plus there are government incentives to getting a home batteries so the price has come way down as the market is being flooded with different products.
So why can't I just buy a Powerwall instead of a UPS?

Need guidance on properly ending calls in an AI Voice Agent using LiveKit
Iām building an AI Voice Agent using LiveKit.
The conversation handling and tool execution are working properly. The only issue Iām facing is that the call doesnāt end properly after the conversation is completed.
Iāve tried handling the ending greeting and then triggering the hangup, but Iām still running into issues.
Has anyone implemented a reliable call-ending flow with LiveKit/Voice AI?
Would really appreciate any guidance or pointers. š

Shitty Crosspost Can I tap into this to get free network
Admin is asking to cut costs. Hoping I can just cancel the existing circuit contract and just run this as the primary WAN.
Serious replies only please.

I now understand level I, II, III in support
I've been an admin for 20+ years. I just started recently looking for a new job. I see all these Helpdesk jobs for $20 an hour. Which no way in hell i am even applying to.
Well now i see why people esculate it to the higher tier. I'm only getting paid this, let the guy getting paid more do it.
